I saw that... however, there's this:

MyHeritage Family Trees

James married Janice Anne Van Greunen (born Falcus) .
Janice was born on June 10 1955, in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England.
They had 2 children.

As I recall, all of his official documentation in our possession show his date of birth to be in 1965, so I question just who entered that information at My Heritage apparently erroneously. Was it James/Judy his/her self trying to throw sand in the gear box, was it a family member working from faulty memory, or...?

ETA: on page 137 of the e-book is reproduced the passport of "James Hendrik van Greunen" issued by the South African consulate in London on 14 December, 1988, and expiring on 13 December 1993. It lists his current residence at the time as the UK, his height as 1.98 m, and a birth date verified by South Africa, his place of birth, of 21 April 1965.

On page 138 is shown the passport of "Judith Helena van Greunen", also born in South Africa on 21 April 1965, but paradoxically 14 cm (about 5 1/2 inches) shorter, issued by the South African embassy in Bonn, Germany, on 12 February 1992. Residence at that time is listed as Germany. Her sex at that time is listed as "F/V", which I do not know the complete relevance of - "F" obviously for "female", but the "/V" portion of the designation is cryptic to me.

The signatures on both passports match precisely. Everything matches perfectly other than the height and residence. does a sex change also change the height, or was van Greunen "fudging" on one measurement or the other, or possibly both?
